Delbert appears to be the son named Joseph (age 5) in the 1920 census and named Dudlin (age 15) in the 1930 census. There is no other child between Buster (age 8 in 1920, 17 in 1930) and Vivian (age 2 in 1920, 12 in 1930) in either census. Note that in 1920 there is a boarder named Delbert Munsing (age 59) in the household. Possibly Joseph was renamed Delbert in his honor.
